3-wire electrical cord receptacle

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrica! receptacle as shown in

FIGURE A. FIGURE A shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has

a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available,

an adapter as shown in FIGURE B can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a

2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that

MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded

receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN CANADA.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical receptacle in question is properly

grounded. If you are not sure, have a certified electrician check the electrical

receptacle.
